As a closeted Anglophile I have been following the Brexit negotiations and whether the U.K. will have a soft or hard landing when they break away from the European Union. There have been fearful expectations ranging from product shortages to rioting in the streets. As such there are contingency plans to evacuate the Queen and senior royals. A pundit remarked "but don't let Philip drive!" But I think we would all prefer to see Elizabeth II cruising on the royal yacht than suffering the fate of those sixteenth century antecedents. When I visited Manchester mid 1960s our agent took me to their Rotary luncheon where they all toasted the Queen before lighting up. Very touching to see how they feel about the Royal Family.
